Ex-Beatles legend Ringo Starr has denied that there is a rivalry between him and ex-bandmate Sir Paul McCartney – despite the pair both releasing new albums within the same week.Starr’s 16th studio album ‘Ringo 2012’ came out two days ago, with the drummer claiming that he “has no plans to retire” and would ‘play as long as he could hold the sticks’. McCartney’s new record ‘Kisses on the Bottom’ will be out from Monday – exactly a week after Ringo’s hit shelves.But, in an interview with Spinner, Starr claimed the two were the best of friends – and there was no rivalry.
